V4L/DVB (4681): Cx88: fix analog capture notch filter
This patch changes the setting of the cx2388x notch filter to match that of
the video capture sample frequency, removing some annoying interference
lines THAT would appear when capturing composite video. This has been tested
in PAL and NTSC TV norms.
It sets the Y/C separation luma notch filter, which removes the chroma signal
from the luma signal when using a composite input.
The luma notch filter operates at the video decoder's frequency, not the ADC's
frequency or at the frequency of the scaled video. Y/C separation happens after
the sample rate converter, before video scaling.
The datasheet provides plots of the filter response for three _video decoder_
frequencies, 4x Fsc, square pixel, and ccir601. These are the same three
frequencies for the notch filter control. It seems pretty clear that this
filter should be set based on the video decoder frequency. The cx88 driver
always uses a video decoder frequency of 4xFsc.

[MIPS] BCM1250: TRDY timeout tweaks for Broadcom SiByte systems
It was obesrved that at least one older PCI card predating the
requirement for the TRDY signal to respond within 16 clock ticks actually
does not meet this rule nor even the power-on defaults of the PCI bridges
found in development systems built around the Broadcom SiByte SOCs. Here
is a patch that bumps up the timeout to the highest finite value supported
by these chips, which is 255 clock ticks. The bridges affected are the
SiByte SOC itself and the SP1011.
This change does not effectively affect systems only having PCI option
cards installed that meet the TRDY requirement of the current PCI spec.
The rule was introduced with PCI 2.1, so any older card may make the
system affected. If this is the case, performance of the system will
suffer in return for the card working at all. If this is a concern, then
the solution is not to use such cards.

The reason was two-fold:
- you also need to pass in "nofxsr" to make sure that we not only don't
touch the old i387 legacy hardware, it also needs to disable the
modern XMM/FXSR sequences
- "nofxsr" didn't actually clear the capability bits immediately,
leaving the early boot sequence still using FXSR until we got to

This fixes the "nofxsr" flag to take effect immediately on the boot CPU.

This is useful, for example, in cluster environments where you may need to
combine two disjoint bitmaps into one (following a server failure, after a
secondary server has taken over the array). By combining the bitmaps on
the two servers, a full resync can be avoided (This was discussed on the
list back on March 18, 2005, "[PATCH 1/2] md bitmap bug fixes" thread).
